Silver 21 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 We have been invited to a sprint at Hethel (Lotus Cars Test Facility) on the above date which is the day after Curborough and the day of the marshalls sprint. I have no intention of adding it to the championship calendar but if people are interested I can let the organisers know there is interest, can we have a show of hands of people who might be interested.

No Nuts Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yes, I just got notification this morning too by post that this event is back on (it had been temporarily killed off by the venue owners I understand, but pressure from the event organisers was successful by the looks of things). It's an event worth doing and one I'm very pleased to see back on the calendar (there's another there in August too). I did C'boro and Hethel in the same weekend last year. Long weekend but well worth it, Hethel is an excellent sprint venue. I can't afford the time / money to do as many sprints as I'd like this year but I'll probably be going for the "double header" that weekend this year. 😬 Please support if you can to make the organiser's efforts all the more worthwhile. Thanks. Guy NN 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hethel sprints oversubscribe *really* quickly (especially if they're also Caterham Academy rounds...) so you need to get your entry in very sharpish after the regs come out. Well worth doing! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 We'll be doing the double header at Curborough. (Assuming Robert has his car back in one piece, but that's another story!!!)

No Nuts Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Ah, just in case I was misunderstood, my "double header" would be Curborough and then Hethel. Guy NN 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Jnr Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Can i put in a request that we run Curborough backwards 😳 This has nothing to do with my car only turning left at the moment Ford: Engineered for life - built to rust!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 i'd like a go...a local event for me *thumbup* do you know what the "wallet dent" will be 🤔 🤔 Gordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Typically its £60 to £70 I would think. Have the Regs come out yet as I have not had any and they normally automatically send them to people registered in the local championships ?

Jason Plato Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Curborough backwards !!!! Down towards the bottom hairpin I reckon we could get 120 mph ?? 😬 😬 😬 Lotus 7 Club Speed Champion 2003 South Wales Area Organiser C7 TOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nuts Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If we truly do Curboro backwards there's not much stopping distance aftre the finish (i.e. start) line 😬 Gordy, Hethel Regs not out yet, give it another month or so. See www.aemc.org.uk for the organising club. You can contact them and ask them to put you on the list. Graham, you planning on coming along then?

Chelspeed Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hethel was to be round 1 of both group 1 and group 2 of this years Academy. That's guaranteed 50 entries. Then it was cancelled and now the Academy are doing an event at Aintree in late April instead. Guess they won't be swopping back after being messed about like this.

Graham Perry Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 NN not sure, depends on a few things and also if I do Curb. I am not competing seriously in the local championships this year but I will do a few events to keep my hand in. Car is in bits at the mo, but new Freestyle springs and dampers are nearly on, and a few other jobs including the head restraint are 'work in progress' so I need to give them all a try and Hethel is a super place to try all the cars parameters. Won't be at first Debden though in May (My fave sprint) due to a holiday to celebrate that my health is better than its been for the last 8 months.

No Nuts Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Graham, excellent news on the health front, glad to hear the lobotomy worked ❗ Yes - mustn't forget the head restraint myself - required for tillets too (just to be sure) I reckon.

Silver 21 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 YES definately required for Tillets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Swift Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Club sprints are great value compared with a a lot of others - Curborough will be £53 and the entry form and regs will be in the March magazine. Barbara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
